Implication

Case report demonstrates salvage nephrectomy after failed embolization of a renal artery aneurysm with arteriovenous fistula, highlighting surgery as an effective rescue option.

Key Points

Radical nephrectomy successfully resolved a massive renal artery aneurysm and arteriovenous fistula following an unsuccessful attempt at transcatheter arterial embolization.
Computed tomography angiography revealed a 54x42mm saccular aneurysm and a 45mm fistula before surgical excision confirmed 30% sclerotic glomeruli.
The clinical course highlights radical nephrectomy as a feasible salvage intervention when endovascular treatment fails in complex renal vascular malformations.
